Terwilliger systems' subdegree bound conjecture

About 22 years old · traced to

Let Φ\Phi be a TD system with diameter dd, and let ρ0,ρ1,…,ρd\rho_0,\rho_1,\ldots,\rho_d be the associated scalars from Corollary 3.4. The scalars satisfy

ρi≤(di)(0≤i≤d).\rho_i\leq \binom{d}{i}\qquad (0\leq i\leq d).

Terwilliger systems' subdegree bound conjecture. The inequality above holds for every TD system.

This conjecture gives an upper bound on the associated scalars in terms of the diameter. It has been proved for d≤3d\leq 3 by Tanabe; its validity in general remains open.
